Scott Alexander on trigger warnings. Scott Alexander really annoys me, because half the time he’s promoting “anti-feminism” or “biological realism” (racism) in that libertarian “but I’m just looking at the arguments” kind of way, but then the other half the time he posts stuff like this which is *exactly* the point I’ve been trying to make to people about trigger warnings, and why they’re actually a good idea. (It’s unsurprising he’s a regular on LessWrong, which has a similar mix of “YES!” and “oh my God, how can you be so stupid and remember to breathe?”)
